What We Fund

The mission of the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass (AACG) is to further the development and appreciation of art made from glass. The AACG awards Support Grants consistent with this mission. Grants are made to 501(c)3 arts organizations in support of specific educational purpose, with preference for grants in which the focus is education of the public (as opposed to education of artists, curators, etc.). Typically, grants support exhibitions, catalogs, brochures, videos, curatorial stipends, and residencies for visiting artists. AACG does not provide grants for artists' scholarships. Information for prospective grant applicants may be found on the Grant Application Guidelines page.

Since 1991 when AACG first awarded grants, the organization has made more than $964,481 in grants as of May 2015. Thanks to all of our members for their support and membership, which makes the AACG Grant program possible.
